P.8

Laurel, laurel jackson smith was her name. Edd saw her here often, but never saw her parents do that, they were often nice around anyone, even talked to them a couple times, but...that was a lie? A whole entire lie?! Why?! Edd realized, they were lying so people wouldn't get suspicious... Maybe that's why her eyes are covered...she also seemed like a child, why would you abuse a child?!

Child protective services and police need to get involved.. But Edd didn't have a camera or anything, so how can he prove anything? Well, if the child is hiding a black eye, maybe, yeah, he will have solid proof, but he didn't know that, it could have just been a eye infection, self conscious...heck, maybe she doesn't have eyes!! Okay Edd, breathe...breathe...

As Edd breathed in and out, he felt a tight yank on his cape, as he turned, he saw a small boy. His hair was light brown, he had a white cap on that, on the front, had a face with 'x's for eyes and a squiggly mouth, like it was happy but dead, it was outlined black, like he drew it on with a permanent marker, nearly white hoodie, just small grey, dark grayish, blue shorts that just reached for his shoes which were just pure black. He also had almost black eyes, but you could just see them as brown, he also had a lollipop in his mouth. "Hey, kid, what's up?" He asked, kneeling down to his level, basically squatting

The kid did sign language, he couldn't understand, but he knew his brother could. "Hey, bro!" "Hm?" He turned his head up, keeping his balance because he basically had no legs to do so. "Do you know what he's saying?" He backed away, the kid did the same thing, Ded nodded. " 'means 'Do you know where my parents are? I lost them in the crowd, they have brown hair like mine and pale skin as well, dark eyes and just black jackets on that reach down to their hips and saddles plus jeans that are blue' " Ded explained. Edd nodded and looked back at him.

"Okay, I'll help you find your parents, I promise! Just follow me!" He stood up, walking, as he felt the grip of his cape tighten, like the boy liked his cape, he didn't mind, many kids would play on it and he'd have to stay perfectly still. He didn't mind, he was more patient with the kids, they didn't know better, plus the parents he's seen are helicopter or over-protective parents. Annoying, honestly.

As he walked, he saw the curtain being opened by adults, that looked like the little kid's. "Are those your parents??" He asked, pointing. The kid nodded. He sped walked over as he felt the kid cling on his leg, he couldn't keep up, but he didn't mind, he could handle it, he dragged his foot behind him as he opened it. They were talking to Paul. The juggler, he must've had something they threw. "Excuse me, ma'am? Sir?" He asked, walking over, they turned over. "Is this your kid??" He pointed down to his leg. The parents did a low groan. "Ugh, that piece of shit? We tried to lose him!" The mumbled, Edd felt anger grab his neck and start choking down his patients till it was dead..

But his patient self punched the anger away and took control. "Excuse me, ma'am, that is not how you talk to a kid." Edd stood tall, basically looking taller then he was, this showed he was serious, but he felt the kid coward behind his leg and hiding in his cape. "He's so useless! Serious-" "ma'am, leave." Paul suddenly got involved. "But we nee-" "the kid? No! You are obviously verbally, if not, psychically and verbally abusive! Get out before we call the police!" "So? You have no proof-" Eduardo suddenly flipped his cape up and he grabbed the woman, he was aggressive.

"Oh, darling, you simply forgot I'm a magician, I have all tricks, so I can definitely get your stupid fucking whore ass into jail, understand?" He stated, firmly. "Now leave." He ordered,the mother shook as she stumbled back because he shoved her, she grabbed her husband, that's what they assumed though, and ran, leaving the kid. Edd smiled a bit. "Eduardo, Please, next time, control your anger..." He suggested, smiling. Eduardo nodded as he walked off. The kid poked his head out.

'Thanks for helping me' he did with his hands, sign language, Paul repeated it in words, he was also good at understanding sign language. "It's okay...You can stay here, if you'd like." He did sign language again. "He said 'I would love that' " Paul looked at Edd. "Thank you, Paul. Okay, kid, what's your name?" 'They named me AK...' He did sign language, but Paul repeated it. Edd nodded. "It's a wonderful name!" The kid nodded. "Okay, just follow Paul, I'll get you sorted somewhere, okay?" The kid nodded as he grabbed Paul's arm and he walked off with him. Edd walked away.

Some parents are so rude. That's also an issue, he's been recently seeing that, that's how he got the unique people, aka... 'The freaks', well, except his brother, his mother accepted him. But now it's a horrible world. Edd just wishes he could fix it...
